Cyless, 5-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Very good
Great stay. The hotel is renovated but we see in its architecture and some aesthetic details was it’s an old one. Whatever it’s very nice. Swimming pool is huge and the access direct to beach. Be careful, they add $45 fees per day (not well justified) and $30 per day for parking. My only concern is the guys at the entrance: they discuss a lot and forget sometimes to help you with your luggage. Whatever it was great. Mahalo!

Royal Sonesta is AMAZING!!
The Royal Sonesta was AMAZING!! The resort was so beautiful. The staff was extremely friendly. The food was amazing. The beach was beautiful. The resort was quiet and comfortably isolated so you felt very relaxed, yet it was within walking distance of a quaint little shopping district where you could get food, drinks, and gifts. We will absolutely return here!
